Letter From Boston.
ACUVO4
Communicated.

1t is seemingly by way Of an easy intro
duction to a Winthrop, an Adams, Frank
lin and others of continental fame that one
is brought face to face with the bronze fig
ures of these staGd old defenders, of liberty
and that too, at points least expected
which is apt to produce pleasing surprise
at meeting Unexpectedly. these mute and
glorious beings; thrilling one with an awe
inspiring loye and generation for that con-
tinental rig, and those who wore it. Yet
such is the way of the Hub.
And, the moss covered stone that marks
the resting place Of our colonial fore-fathers
in the very centre Of life and hustle in old
Boston, should "implore the passing tribute
of sigh" as we view them encroached up
on by progressive arts; but the busy throng
passes on seemingly unmindful OF their
Puritan ancestors, who are surrounded ON
all sides by scenes and objects unthought
of in their day.
The modern Getty of the dead" Mount
Auburn, virtual paradise so far as the
arts attain; is located beyond the city linz
its and In close proximity to Cambridge.
The profusiun of flowers that will be
heaped upon these lonely mounds, in this
silent city, on the morrow; attest to the
spirit of this age and the christian doctrine
of the brotherhood of mankind.
To strike happy medium, 1 will now
note the living that go to make up part
of this over populous centre, who are ever
interesting and at times quite lively.
To say that all are Americans in man.
ners and customs, would be grevious err
ror, even though the enjoyment of natural.
izatlon should be in full accord.
However, Lung Lee, is seen to hob mob
with Pat O'Rrine. Moses Cohn is apparently
friendly with Carl IDENTITY, and the vendor
of peanuts and oranges around the corner
may be recognized by the wealthy Boston
tourist as the brigand to whom he surrend-
cred purse and watch in the mountain fast
ness Of Italy, last summer.
But the busy hum of the chestnut rooster
the succulent orange and tempting banana
is dispensed; till sufficient American gold
is accumulated for his retirement to the
more genial skies of his native home;
where he settles down in lovely villa on
mountain side, and entertains the Boston
tourist as Count Cheek. Moses Cohn, Pat
OBrine and Carl IDENTITY remain constant
and true, and in times of war, Carl and Pat
are in the front rank, while Moses is in the
rear looking out for the "cloding."
The dark skinned child of the Occident
has Young Lee in large red letters painted
on front window. up some narrow court,
where day and night he is found with dis
tended cheeks. tiltering mystic water
through his clenched teeth on to the inn

This is but one phrase of cur ragged-edgs
which in make up does not differ from other
commercial cities.

A Point Well Taken.

Gov. Hill of New York, in vetoing
the republican constitutional conven-
ton bill, made the point that the
bill contained "no provision for mi
nority representation" thereby viz
tually ruling out of the convention
all representatives "of organized la
Dor and of prohibition, who should
properly be afforded an opportunity
of participating in the work of such
a convention" The point is well
taken. A constitutional convention
ought not to be partisan affair. 1t
should be made up of men of all pc.
litical beliefs, and representatives of
all moral and social reforms. Unless
the present constitution is changed
for the better, it is not wise to change
it at all. Political, social and moral
ideas have changed somewhat within
the last twenty years. They have
advanced as most of US believe. The
changes therefore, needed in the old
constitution are to put it abreast
with the ideas of the present, so that
it may be true exponent of pres
ent thought and blief. To do this
it must contain the best thought of
the best representative men of these
advanced ideas; but this will not be
the case if the convention be made
up solely of democrats and republi-
cans, who are elected as partisans
and as politicians, looking for politi.
cal preferment. Party questions
should have no place in such con-
vention; all thought ofthe benefit to
accrue to any or either party should
be left out; the good of society, the
welfare OF the state. and the prosper
ity of the people, should be the sole
controlling motive and for this pur
pose, the best and wisest men, irres-
pective of party affiliations, should
compose the convention.
But what do we see in the great
state of New York? Two great pc.
litical parties watching each other,
and planning to gain control of that
convention. Why should either
party desire such control2 Evident
ly that thereby it may secure some
party advantages. The leaders act
as though they thought the constitu-
ton was to be made in the interest
of the party instead of the interest
of the people, and, from what they
say about it in the Legislature, who
doubts that, ifeither of the great par
ties could get control of that con.
vention, the constitution thus form
ed would be partisan instrument.
In it would be strong bid for the
liquor vote, by keeping out all refer
ence to prohibition and by putting
in shrewd recognition of the prin-
ciple of license. With this view, of
course the politicians do not want
any prohibitionist in the convention,
for such would prove to be trouble
some and embarrassing element. So
the republican leaders framed their
convention bill so that all prohibi-
tionists would be ruled out; the
terms of the bill providing only for
the eletion of republicans and demo-

A Queer Town.

"The queerest town l know of in this
part of the country said a commercial
traveller lis at Milledgeville, Ill. For
some reason or other the railroad people
and the principal owner of the town site
had a falling out and the railroad decided
to start new town. Through the com
pany's influence brick block was put a
mile or more .away from the old town,
but nearer the station and side tracks
That block contains mine store-roOms on
the first floor, and large number of
offices overhead In it is almost every
kind of business usually carried on in a
country town. In fact. that brick block
is a whole town in itself, but il looks odd
TO see farmers wagons hitched in a circle
about that building, and the entire bust
ness Of n prosperous little place being
carried on under one roof. There is only
one other building in the new town. -

A Lion.Tamer's Nerve.

Crockett made the greatest name for
himself of any lion tanner, not in
England alone, but in France, Ger
many and America. Il remember
well, says Archibald Forbes, ''the time
when the six lions were loose at one time
in Astley's. The Sangers had sent the
beasts up from Edmonton the night be-
fore. Nobody 10 this day knows how
they got out Of their dens; but it was
thought at the time that some one of the
grooms-with whom the manager was
very unpopular, he used to fine them so
mercilessly-had let them loose mali
ciously, that they might get at the horses.
There they were, anyhow, loose in the
place, smelling the horses, and mad to get
at them. They had already killed man,
aud had eaten him when Crockett ar
rived. Without halting an instant, he
dashed in among them single-handed,
with only a switch in his hand, and I'm
blest if he didn't manage to den them all
single-handed. That was nerve for you.

Ruhla, mountain village of Thurin.
gia, is the centre of the pipe manufacture
of Germany. Like Sheffield, England, il
was famous in the middle ages for its
arms and armor, and at a subsequent
period for its knives. When the use of
tobacco became common in Europe, it
turned its attention to the fabrication of
iron smoking pipes. Gradually, how
ever, beginning in the seventeenth GEN.
tury, ,meerschaum and wood were adopted
as more suitable materials to work upon.
The first meerschaum pipe was carved in
the early part of the thirty years war.
and Wallenstein is said to have bought
it. The true clay is to be produced only
Ht Eski-Scher, in Asia Miner, where there
are large deposits, and whence it is sent
direct to to the manufactures at Ruhla,
of which there are at present forty, en-
ploying almost the whole population of
the district. The number of pipes, and
the other articles dear to smokers, turned
out is enormous, the yearly average be
ing $40, 600 real meorschaums, varying in
price from six cents to 500 each; 500,
900 imitation meerschaums, at from
twenty-five cents to s. per dozen; 9, ,600,-
goo porcelain pipe bowls, either plain
white or gayly painted, ranging in price
from eight cents to $3.50 per dozen; s.
900, 600 wooden pipes of infinite variety
in size, form and ornamentation, and
price, the common kinds being extremely
cheap and those artistically carved
fetching comparatively high price;
3, 900, 900 bowls of clay or lava, plain. at
about six cents, and of better kind at sew

years ago was thrown violently against the
life line and the injuries received resulted in
an ovarian tumor which grew and enlarged
until death seemed certain, Her physician
finally advised her to try Mrs. Pinkham's

Durability Of Ten Kinds of Wood.

Experiments made at the suggestion of
Professor Sargent by the Boston and
Providence Railroad on the enduring
qualities of various woods for railroad
ties have given results of importance TO
farmers. In these experiments tifty-two
ties were laid in December, 1878, on a
track in Boston, where the traffic is very
heavy, having an average of siXty-tive
trains daily. Ten kinds of wood were
tried, five in the natural state and five
creosoted. None of the ties rotted ex-
cept one Of the ailantus; the others that
had to be removed had been injured by
the hammering of the trains. Spruce,
hemlock, larch and Southern pine have
all suffered badly in this way. White
oak lasted well, but it holds the spikes so
firmly that they cannot be drawn when
the rails have to be shifted. Creosoted
elm and birch did well, and are to be rec
ommended. Chestnut was unfortunate
ly not included in the experiment, al
though it is considered one of the best
woods for ties. The behavior of the ca
talpa was one of the most interesting feat
ures of the case, all the ties of this wood
being sound, except just under the rails,
where they are crushed nearly to a pulp
